2. Glass Ball Placeholder

This is probably one of the more beautiful placeholders I've ever wanted to DIY. Doesn't it look gorgeous? The great thing about this is that it's really quite easy to make. You also will likely not spend too much if you happen to have a lot of knick-knacks from previous beach outings. Simply fill Christmas tree ornaments with sand and the knick-knacks, seal with a cork, and then add name of guest.
